Anand Mahindra is fond of sharing creative things on his Twitter account and he often surprises people with the ideas he gets to know from his WhatsApp Gallery.
Just a few months ago he was so impressed by the marketing skills of a cobbler working in Haryana that he wished to invest in his startup.
Now, if you are guessing that we are talking about the famous shoe doctor who went viral on social media, you are absolutely correct.

He even requested his followers to help him in finding this man.
Got it on whatsapp. No clue who or where he is or how old this pic is. If anyone can find him and he’s still doing this work I’d like to make a small investment in his ‘startup’. https://t.co/A8kdJTvAN1

And finally, his hard work paid off. Even a kiosk was designed for him after knowing his requirements.
Recall my tweet about Narseeji,the cobbler?Our team in Harayana met him&asked how we could help.A simple&humble man.Instead of asking for money,he said he needed a good workspace. I asked our Design Studio team from Mumbai to design a kiosk that was functional&yet aesthetic.(1/2) pic.twitter.com/Oefr69yAy1

They flew down to meet him&produced these ideas. We would be delighted to get your inputs on the analysis & approaches & which you prefer. We want to design something that enhances the pavement aesthetic & hopefully create a template for roadside vendors..(2/2) pic.twitter.com/bNRB9bkJOi

Now, this promise has been finally fulfilled as an amazing workplace has been set up for him which is expected to reach him soon.

This is what our Design studio in Mumbai came up with:Great work guys! Will be delivered soon”
